'morning all. Wow, that sure was a downer produced by XONE's quarterly report. Too bad the other 3-D operators had to take a sympathetic hit as well..... but I too took advantage with more DDD in the boat.

Hey Bass, those feeder creeks sound like a great place to play. I'd love to be there with my ultra-light fly gear........and see how one of those Steelys would feel.

And speaking of "fall weather", I was recently browsing for investment candidates paying decent dividends. Would you believe the best I found (paying 5.6%) is one called PLOW........ Guess what their business is........... how about snow removal equipment....
And if you look at their chart, you'll simply scratch your head in amazement and wonder how the heck they do that (pay dividends)........most confused history track you'll ever see.

Morning guys/gals! If you are looking for a income producing investment, I would take a look at telecoms right now. You have AT&T paying a 5.2%+ dividend yield. Verizon's is over 4%+. The dividend is paid quarterly and with kids going back to school, you will see an increase in new subs, data devices, etc... Where else are you going to earn that kind of return? Not in CD's, Savings, etc... You want to earn a steady income, buy the telecoms!

i don't mean to clog the forum with fishing pics, but i didn't see how to send the pic in a private message…..

Sly,

Here is a pic of my first steelhead that i landed last year, a respectable 5-6lb steelhead. I had one hooked last week that was around 20lbs……the couple minute fight was awesome until he went under some logs and broke off

Bassman, now that is my kind of day. Good going.............. PS. Little different arena here, offshore in a 30' boat with no-less-than 8 rigs in the water at a time. Last week we boated ten nice Mahi Mahi (dolphin, to those who are unfamiliar) all about the size of that steelhead in your picture. The time before that, it was the same number of black fin tuna, also about that size........ And when I get bored, or the seas are too ugly to go out on a given day, I fly fish in my backyard canal where I usually pick up a bass or two.

Okay, enough fish clogging.......... back to making money. Midas, thanks for those dividend tips. I picked up some EXC and have my eye on JCI, each with attractive dividend yields. I'll take a look at those telecoms too as you suggest.

Looks like we may test that middle BB at 3.76. If that doesn't hold I may have to cut my losses and wait for a bit lower. Sold my lots at 3.79 for small gain but re bought again at 3.78 which may have been a bit early......

I am amazed at the size of THEDOGSBALLS today. Thought for sure they would test the middle BB on the spike down in the Macro. Still holding those blocks.... Let's hope the OLAY isn't on the way later today.......
